The key is making sure they think its their idea.

@freemo The problem is that the mRNA shots were called "vaccines", and that is what "anti-vaxxers" are protesting against. It was never against real vaccines. At the RFK level, there is protest against *untested* vaccines - essentially all real vaccines developed since 1986, when Congress absolved Pharma of liability for vaccine injuries. Before 1986, each vaccine went through about 5 years of testing. Now, new vaccines (e.g. "flu" vaccine) goes through at most 5 days of testing.

In the case of flu, it is similar enough to previous vaccines that new vaccine injuries are unlikely (and there has been no increase). But more novel new vaccines, like the RSV is more worrisome. Hopefully, while there was only days of testing before release, there are non-fraudulent records kept of injuries as it it used (since there is no liability).

@freemo There is also the issue of early vaccination. Vaccines are much more harmful for newborns and very young children. Breastfeeding supplies all the antibodies the mother has - so if Mom has been vaccinated against polio, the newborn is protected while they are mostly breastfeeding.

When baby is getting weaned, then you look at what vaccinations might be a good idea - and prioritize, so you don't do them all at once on a very young child.
